<br />
Lots of information about a family can be verified or discovered by looking at the census document.<br />
In 1910, William M and Hattie Davis Whiteside were living in Niantic Township. William was older than Hattie and she had seven children, all of whom were living. Six children were still living at home and their ages are listed. (Their eldest daughter, Bernie, was already married.) William is a farmer who was born in Illinois and rents his farm. He is 44 and Hattie is 39. They've been married 21 years (that makes 1889 the year of their marriage, so records can be found.) Hattie would have been 18. Their neighbors are listed, too. The next thing to do is look at 1920!

<br />
<blockquote>OLD TIRE IS USED TO WATER CHICKENS</blockquote><em><blockquote><em>Old tires have been put to many uses, their utility not being destroyed when they are no longer fit for the road. But one of the latest uses to which it has been put is found on the John hawk farm in Harristown township, where an old tire is in use as a water trough for the chickens. The tire, not quite worn through, was slit all around the middle and the halves laid flat on the ground and filled with water. it doesn't need a diagram to show how accessible and convenient this device is.</em></blockquote><br />
